Geocache Description:

Living in Wales, MrsB has developed an affinity with the "clouds on legs" that wander the local hillsides but, sheep being what they are, some of her flock have wandered a bit too far afield. Solve the puzzle and help MrsB with counting Welsh sheep.

At each of the following locations you will find a number of Welsh sheep. I suggest that you use the O.S. 1:50k maps to help you when hunting. Then use the information to solve the co-ordinates:

A.... N53°02.474 W003°23.170
B.... N52°35.056 W003°51.882
C.... N52°56.700 W003°38.022
D.... N52°49.100 W004°31.792
E.... N52°12.511 W003°31.019
F.... N51°34.616 W002°48.648

Cache co-ordinates are N°51.3A.0BC W002°50.DEF

No hints will be given for solving the puzzle until after the FTF, but I'll happily confirm whether or not you've counted the sheep correctly.
